Explain applications

MRI

X-ray

Ultrasound

Infrared Radiation

Answer and Explanation:

--> MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an imaging technique that involves the use of radio waves and magnetic field to generate high detailed images of the human body. It's clinical applications includes:

• Bone and joint MRI:  these are done to check for bone and joint problems such as bone marrow disorders, arthritis, or bone tumours.

• A Spine MRI: This is used to investigate the spinal disc and innervations for disorders such as spinal tumours.

• Chest MRI: This is used to detect abnormalities of the heart, heart valves and coronary arteries.

--> X-RAY: These are electromagnetic waves of short wavelength with high penetrating power. They are produced when fast moving electrons strike a mass of heavy atoms such as those of metals. It's applications includes:

• They are used to detect hidden cracks in materials.

• They are used to show broken bones in human body.

• They are used in the study of internal structures of crystals.

• In agriculture, x-rays are used in killing germs.

--> ULTRASOUND: This makes use of high frequency sounds to detect abnormalities in the human body. An ultrasound machine transmits sound waves into the body which are reflected at the surfaces between the tissues of different density. It can also be used in different disciplines such as imaging, cleaning, mixing, navigation and communication   It's applications includes:

•. Detection of Cracks: when applied on metallic surface under investigation, high frequency sound wave reflects back which and be predicted and recorded.

--> INFRARED RADIATION: This is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength longer than visible light. It is visible to the human eye and most heated surfaces transmits infrared radiation. It's applications includes:

• it is used for the purpose of sensing and detection. For example the night vision goggles and infrared cameras. Remote control makes use of infrared light waves to change channels in the television.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
